So after years of trying to make the glowing guage faces work properly, I just removed all the wiring to them, and replaced all the main (larger size) bulbs in the dash. The idiot lites I'll have to do another time. I thought the bag of LED's from Amazon had both the small and large bulbs, but I guess I was mistaken, or I misplaced the smaller ones in the 2 weeks between when they were delivered, and when I finally ripped apart the dash! So heres some pics. MarsAuto LED Lighting is the maker.

Looks good. I am a big fan of blue LEDs for gauge clusters:chug:
 






I'm planning to do the exact same thing, just need to find the leds, and be sure I know EXACTLY what I'm doing. Thinking of doing blue for most of it, but things like: the check engine, seatbelt, such as that can be a green like the speed control. That way the more urgent things still stand out and all is visible unlike my guage cluster's whole left side at night currently lol
